Kids Off To University? To Rent or To Buy?Are you dealing with university or college applications for your children? Are they looking at moving out? Something you may want to consider is purchasing an apartment, condo or a house for your children to live in.

My cousin and I both attended the University of Saskatche-wan and had apartments down the hall from each other. We would always mention to our parents that they should have just bought one, as we spent about $450/month for over 4 years, totalling $43,200!

What are rental rates these days? A two-bedroom apartment is going to run you around $900 to $1500 per month. So, why not look at purchasing and instead pay a mortgage. A mort-gage will be less than rent! And, if your child has a roommate who pays $500 or $600 – this could lessen your monthly finan-cial commitment.

Real estate usually appreciates over the two to four years that your child attends post secondary education. Subsequently, you could also have another child going to school in two years as well, so you may have this investment for 6-8 years!

So, to put this in perspective, at $1200 per month for 4 years, potentially $57,600 could be spent on rent. Even a one-bed-room is about $900 per month. At 4 years that would total $43,200 spent on rent. This amount can be retained through a purchase.

If you buy, you would require a down payment. And when you sell, you could probably get the same price or perhaps even more than what you paid for the place. If you buy a house or three-bedroom apartment, you can make money off the rent coming in. Either would ensure you would have a positive cash flow, which can help off set tuition/books costs!

This is usually not a decision regretted; instead it is wise having the foresight to make a prudent investment decision, which

then helps out with the pocket book when children leave home.

If you need assistance, it doesn’t matter which city your child is looking at moving to as we, (my colleagues and I) have access to market information to refer you in the right direction.

Empty nesting can be a difficult time and it’s not supposed to be a financial strain, so be smart about where your children will live.

And, live your dream … ‘til next month,

The days are getting longer! How do you plan to use all the extra sunlight to your advantage?

I am always so impressed with those who have all of their summer plans laid out by May. You know the type. Their summer campsite reservations are made, plans to meet up with their favourite circles of likeminded folks are lined up and vacation days are of course, booked off from work already.

I like to think of myself as an OK planner but truthfully I am not one of these incredibly organized people as described above. Are you?

How do you keep everything on track? Some days I feel lucky to get through a full work day, pay a few bills and get supper on the table. When was the last time my children bathed? Well, um … it must have been this week … or was it?

All kidding aside – life is busy. I for one could sure use some extra hours to go along with the extra sunlight.

That said I could never be a trendsetter or predictor. I simply don’t have time or maybe I don’t care enough. But for those of you who pride yourself on being in the know, fashion forward thinker Ashley Kilback of Closet Space contributes her thoughts this month on one of spring’s hottest trends: florals. Ok, I maybe could have seen that one coming! As Ashley puts it, floral trends seem to be big each and every spring.

Maybe I could get the hang of becoming more proactive after all. Ah, who am I kidding? I like flying by the seat of my pants way too much but I really admire those whose foresight I will never have. Kudos ladies!

Feel free to share with us at PINK how you keep things in order. Or you can simply commiserate with me – that works too. We love hearing from you!

Barbara Cabrera

A Mother’s Love


Barbara Cabrera’s day begins the same as most mothers: she gets out of bed, gets dressed, fixes breakfast and prepares her beloved children – eight-year-old Saméa and five-year-old LeKai – for the day ahead. What sets the Cabrera household apart however is that while Saméa is considered neurotypical, her brother was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) shortly after his third birthday. The years lead-ing up to and following this diagnosis have been rife with change and challenge, but the family remains a cohesive unit and Cabrera a fearless advocate for autism awareness and education.

It is estimated that one in 68 children is affected by ASD. Its classification as a spec-trum disorder means that behaviour and symptom severity for those with autism varies along a continuum, from low- to high-functioning. This lifelong neurodevelop-mental disorder is typically diagnosed within the first three years of life and common characteristics include difficulties with verbal and non-verbal communication and social interactions, sensory sensitivities, and a tendency toward familiarity and rou-tine. Because of the wide variability of symptom expression, treatment is individual-specific; a therapeutic technique that is helpful for one individual may be less so for another. There is a wealth of research to support the importance and effectiveness of early intervention in order to optimize children with ASD’s physical, psychosocial and other foundational skills.

Cabrera explained that during his first year, LeKai met and even exceeded standard milestones such as sitting, standing and walking. There was however, a significant and concerning delay with his ability to produce words.

“By the time he turned one he still had no language at all,” she says. “Looking back, there were definitely other signs that he might be autistic, but at the time we were uninformed and unaware.”

LeKai’s road to diagnosis was a long one and involved several consultations, ex-aminations and procedures. The family spent nearly two and a half years working with an assortment of health care professionals to pinpoint the cause of his linguistic delay. Over time, Cabrera noticed that LeKai avoided eye contact and exhibited minimal social engagement, both strong behavioural indicators of autism. Shortly after these additional concerns were raised, LeKai was referred for a formal autism assessment, with wait times in excess of six months to a year. The family was fortu-nate enough to cross paths with a Saskatoon pediatrician who specialized in ASD, and who was able to make an official diagnosis in April 2012, months in advance of the anticipated assessment date.

For Cabrera and her fiancé, Harry, there was a mixture of relief and fear when they learned their son was autistic.

“It was a difficult and emotional time,” she says. “I was quite shocked and upset. The next morning, though, I realized that this was out of our control. We now had two op-tions: we could cry, dwell and wonder what we’d done wrong or we could problem solve how to make this a good experience for our entire family and help our son.”

Before LeKai entered into ASD-specific programming, he was assigned an Early Childhood Interventions Programs (ECIP) team to assist with his physical dexterity and language. The initiative is funded by the Ministry of Education and offers pro-gramming and support to children with ASD and other cognitive challenges.

“ECIP got the ball rolling for us,” says Cabrera. “Everyone there was really great, full of information and offered very good support.”

Even before the suspected diagnosis was confirmed, Cabrera approached the situ-

CALL (306) 974 2470IN SASKATOON TO ACCESS:

• advanced medical treat-ments, technology and supp-portive therapies.

• a collaborative, multidisciplinary team of cancer experts that work along side the patient.

• treatments for the body, mind and spirit, to help patients fight the disease and maintain a high quality of life.

In the small city of Tubingnen, Germany, the cobblestone streets lead to a 10-story building with state-of-the-art treatment, located on the University campus, adjacent to a Comprehensive Cancer Center. Individualized care is of utmost importance, and it is well recognized in Germany, and under the watchful eye of Prof. Med. Dr. Joachim Drevs, Carynn received 5 weeks of immune boosting, non-toxic cancer treatments.

Professor Drevs is a Hematologist, Oncologist, and Doctor of Internal Medicine, having practiced in Germany, United States, and Africa. The integrative cancer center includes a pool, gym, rehabilitation centre and small café, the city is beautiful and in between treatments, you’re healthy enough to enjoy your surroundings. No one is categorized by their diagnosis, and treatment is set up specifically for the individual. “In addition to labs, chemo-sensitivity blood tests, ultrasound, hearing and eye exams, a PET/CT scan was also performed, and here’s the kicker, in ONE day, I had the imaging reports and basic lab results.

I was well taken care of, my treatment was in a lovely quiet, dimly lit room, I saw my doctor, Professor Drevs every day. After the five weeks, I came home to Saskatoon, then returned to Germany in September of 2012. The PET/CT scans showed the tumor two-thirds gone. “

“Global Healthcare Connections proved they have the network and connections to coordinate and deliver optimal health services. The trips were worth it, a PET scan back in Germany in October of 2013 showed my cancer was, indeed, gone. How can you feel better than great?” Carynn asks.

Medical Travel is not merely about savings, simply meet Adele at Global Healthcare Connections and you could save more than you think… like the rest of your life.

One should not have to suffer an hour, a day or a month longer than is reasonable, but thousands and thousands of Canadians are lingering anxiously in wait-list limbo and the list gets longer every day. Just because treatment isn’t life threatening doesn’t mean it isn’t vital to quality of life. It’s not about ‘queue’ jumping, it’s about your health, and what is more important than that?

Picture a 50-year-old woman, overweight and being slowly crippled by deteriorating knees, yet unable to have knee surgery until she’s lost the weight; a 20-year-old man whose premature hairlines makes him look not a day over 45; an individual with limited finances, that needs expensive dental implants and crowns, or someone, no matter what age, struggling with the medical and emotional rigors of cancer, knowing that odds of five year survival aren’t promising.

By visiting another destination where the treatments for these and dozens more conditions aren’t just plentiful, but are more advanced and surprisingly affordable, people from all walks of life can have their health and happiness restored in weeks, not years. Medical travel or Medical tourism, as it is also referred, is not about queue jumping and it’s not about access for some elite, uber-wealthy segment of society, it’s for everyday people who are tired of being in pain, tired of life on a wait list, who want their lives and their health re-stored. Seeking care abroad can be daunting. How do you find and access licensed, respectable medical professionals in specialty health centres located around the world?

What should you ask, know, or expect? These are the questions that can be answered by Global Healthcare Connections. They have connections with top facilities in locations all over the world—and in most cases, they have actually visited the facilities to assure quality. No matter where you go, GHC’s international network who know the destination country inside and out will, tend to your every need before, during and after a treatment or procedure.

WHOEVER SAID “WINNING

ISn’t EVERYTHING” NEVER

HAD TO FIGHT CANCER.


ation pragmatically and proactively. She took to the Internet, poring over scientific research and collecting resources and support services to help her and her family understand and plan for what lay ahead. Cabre-ra continues to establish and grow a supportive com-munity in the Saskatoon area, but this has required a great deal of initiative and active effort on her part. She expressed some dismay at the lack of consoli-dated information offered to parents whose children are newly-diagnosed with ASD.

“In the beginning, you really don’t know what you’re looking for, so some sort of handbook would be valu-able,” she explains. “What I did like, though, was be-ing able to do my research online and not have to leave the house or spend all day on the phone. This allowed me to continue to provide care for my kids.”

Above all else, Cabrera’s biggest source of strength and most valuable resource has been the love and support of her fiancé.

“Harry has always been there to listen and to calm me down, especially in the initial period when things were very difficult,” she says.

As a result of their research, the couple elected to seek out a program offering Applied Behaviour Analy-sis (ABA), a popular therapeutic technique founded on the belief that behaviour is influenced by one’s en-vironment. In an ABA program, behaviours are care-fully observed by a trained therapist in order to de-termine their environmental triggers and reinforcers. Therapists encourage effective behaviours through a systemic process where skills are broken down into a series of simple, manageable steps.

When Cabrera began her search for an ABA program in Saskatoon, she was disappointed to learn that none were currently available. After learning of several programs in the Calgary area, she and Harry decided to initiate the process of relocating their family to Al-berta. However, just prior to their departure, the family learned of a new, government-funded pilot program offered through Autism Services of Saskatoon, a non-profit organization providing advocacy, support, pro-gramming and other services to individuals with ASD and their families.

“The [ABA Little Tots] pilot program was only accept-ing six children for its first session,” says Cabrera. “Al-most twenty families applied to the program and Le-Kai was fortunate to be chosen as one of the six. The program has been one of the biggest and best things for LeKai and has helped me meet other parents go-ing through the same kinds of things we are.”


Children accepted to the program are provided with four on-site sessions and one home visit each week, totalling roughly 25 hours of weekly support from trained specialists. Families are also provided with tools and techniques to help facilitate a smooth transition between the program and home environ-ments. Results for the initial cohort of children have been so positive that Autism Services of Saskatoon has since added a second intake group. They hope to continue to grow and expand the program in the coming years.

Alex Scott, now the Director of Family Programs with Autism Services, was LeKai’s first behavioural therapist in the ABA Lit-tle Tots programs and spent over six months working directly with him. Scott spoke enthusiastically about LeKai’s progress during their time together, explaining how the two fed off each other’s light-heartedness and love of laughter.

“When I first started working with LeKai, he displayed a lot of aggressive behaviours and was not able to effectively man-age them,” says Scott, who worked with LeKai on a number

of objectives, from verbalizing basic words to identifying ob-jects. “In some ways we had to start from square one but the results were very encouraging. As his [aggressive] behaviours decreased, he became a lot more playful and was more re-sponsive to communication and directives.”

Since enrolling in Autism Services’ Little Tots program, LeKai has enjoyed marked improvements with both his vocabulary and social skills. He now attends an ABA pre-school in Sas-katoon and works closely with the school board’s autism spe-cialist to optimize his classroom experience.

“When LeKai was first diagnosed, he had less than ten words and we wondered if he’d ever be able to speak,” says Ca-brera. “At his last assessment, he had over 200 words. It’s been great to watch him gain skills he will carry with him for the rest of his life.”

Scott, who also facilitated home visits during his time as a behavioural therapist, added that Cabrera and her fiancé’s de-votion to LeKai’s well-being has played a pivotal role in his positive behavioural change.

“Barbara and Harry are two amazing individuals. They were both very welcoming and supportive of the work I did with Le-Kai,” he says, adding that a positive relationship between the child, his or her family, and the behavioural therapist serves to enhance the child’s behavioural outcomes and overall adjust-ment.

Cabrera described her son as very curious and inquisitive, with a pointed interest in learning about how things work. He has also developed a strong affinity for music and the arts and spends time each week with a music therapist engaging in song and dance.

“LeKai loves to sing and could spend all day dancing,” she says.” It makes me so happy just to sit and watch him go. He’s always making connections and I love watching his little wheels turn.”

Cabrera is also encouraged by the strong sibling bond devel-oping between her two children. Over the past two years, Sa-méa and LeKai’s relationship has evolved from one with limited interaction and affection to one that is mutually engaging and enriching. Saméa teaches her brother important social skills and enjoys orchestrating games for the two to play.

“LeKai absolutely adores his sister,” says Cabrera. “Whatever she does, he’s sure to follow suit. LeKai is really sweet and

affectionate, giving all of us lots of hugs and kisses. These are things we didn’t see a year ago.”

Despite certain financial pressures and the challenges implicit in managing an ASD diagnosis, Cabrera and her fiancé’s love and commitment to both their children is unwavering. In fact, it is this very love and dedication that has fueled her desire to promote awareness about autism and breed a culture of ac-ceptance and empathy.

“Like any set of parents, we want what’s best for our children and we work hard to give them everything they need,” she says. “I’ve developed huge insight and appreciation for the challenges and successes that special needs families have. There are so many things we take for granted, like a simple ‘I love you.’ It wasn’t until LeKai was over four years old that I heard those words, and while they don’t come often, when I hear them it fills my heart.”

Cabrera believes that autism’s inaccurate portrayal in the me-dia, a lack of unification among various government ministries, and varying accessibility of programs and services across Canada have led to sweeping misconceptions about the dis-order. This high degree of inconsistency may translate into in-equitable therapeutic treatment for individuals with ASD and a sense of overwhelm for parents, who may be unaware of the resources available to them.

“Autism is not a disease to be eradicated, nor is it something that destroys families,” she explains. “Autism is something

“Autism is something to be understood, not to be afraid of. All of our children are special and I believe that cohesiveness among parents and our government will create a community that can do more for everyone.”


to be understood, not to be afraid of. All of our children are special and I believe that cohesiveness among parents and our government will create a community that can do more for everyone.”

While Cabrera is focused on LeKai’s immediate needs, she is also cognizant of the kinds of difficulties and obstacles she and her family may encounter later in life. She dedicates a significant portion of her time and energy to those services designed for adolescents and adults with ASD.

“I want to support a future for LeKai where he can attend school, make friends, graduate, work and have a normal life,” she says. “If I don’t support other parents and their struggles, they will likely be mine in the future. It’s time for change.”

Surface Hair Care

Joy Amistad is a passionate hairstylist who originated in Vancouver and has continued to develop her talent by further training not only in Vancouver, but as well as Las Vegas, New York, Orlando, Miami and is now residing in Saskatoon. Her extended training has furthered her knowledge in precision cuts, hair colours and up styling. Hair is a fashion industry that is continually changing and growing; she truly values the importance of continually upgrading and enhancing her skills. She doesn’t believe hair dressing is just a job, it’s her passion. Joy is a stylist at Visions Salon and Spa in Saskatoon.

Wayne Grund is a third generation hairstylist from the small town of Watson, Saskatchewan. Wayne moved to Humbolt with his wife Debra and opened up their first hair salon in the back of Humbolt’s Auto Body Shop.

The salon was 100 square feet. Wayne’s passion for hair grew quickly as did his clientele. He started working for Redken Professional Hair Care traveling world wide educating hairstylists. In 1992, he received the Canadian Educator of the year award. His work has been seen in Cosmopolitan and Vogue.

Wayne was proud of all his accomplishments but something in his heart was searching for more. Over the last 30 years he noticed the health of fellow hairstylists seemed to be declining, and cancer was more abundant.

He then started trying to understand why this was the case and what the common denominator could be. He started researching ingredients being used on hair - products stylists were using every day.

His discovery was that many of these products had preservatives, parabens and chemicals that are listed as harmful for humans, and yet they were being used daily. Wayne quickly realized the importance of product ingredient awareness, as anything and everything that is placed on our skin gets absorbed into our blood stream.

In 2008, as a result of his research, Wayne and his wife Debra created Surface Hair Care.

spring trend report 2014

About the artist...Originally from Canada, and having spent many years of her career in the United Kingdom, Sara Lindsay is a professional makeup artist, with training from some of London’s top fashion academies. Having had the opportunity to work with some of Britain’s top artists, Sara brings an edge to her hometown of Regina. Sara’s professional experience includes runway work, editorial spreads, compelling commercial campaigns, weddings and special event clients. London Fashion Week and The London Clothes Show are just some of the highlights of her career. Sara was named Canadian Makeup Artist of the Year at The Mirror Awards 2011 and most recently was named a finalist for 2012.Sara’s successful freelance career, which complimented her time as a regional associate with MAC COSMETICS UK, gave her valuable experience in working closely with clientele to consult and direct their transformation to the extraordinary. In a consultative style, Sara works to achieve a look that is uniquely your own.

It’s always exciting to see what looks will trickle down from the runways of the Fashion Weeks around the world and become seasonal trends.

Here are some of the makeup looks we saw for Spring 2014.

STRUCTURED LINER

I’ve pictured an image here of a makeup I did with a very strong liquid eyeliner shape. Although this is a very dramatic version of it, this was actually similar to a look that was seen at Paris Fashion Week this season.

The feline flick has been around for a long time but this season brought a modern update to the classic look. A more modest version of it however can be very wearable yet striking paired with a nude lip and voluminous lash.

ORANGE LIP

Rag & Bone at New York Fashion Week made a statement with a very bold, true orange lip. Although it may be out of the comfort zone for some, it really is worth a try. Surprisingly, this orange is very complementary on most people. A bare lid with mascara and just a hint of a warm coral blush is enough to complete this look.

PASTELS

Pastels on the eyes were seen as a wash of colour across the entire lid. This isn’t reinventing the wheel by any stretch. We typically see pastels in the spring and summer but there are very good reasons for that: they are pretty, very easy to work with and look great on everyone!

Minty green, lavender, dusty blue and pale pinks are back again as tried and true favourites, and they really do brighten the face and create a youthful look.

I love monochromatic looks with pastels as well. Try using the same colour across the lids, over the apples of the cheeks and on the lips with a shiny clear gloss to add a little texture. Peachy tones work well for this look.

Take a little something away from each look to make it your own and have fun with it!

All products shown are available at Sara Lindsay Makeup Studio.

For more in depth information, I offer private makeup lessons at my studio.

In the traditional manner of welcoming spring, it’s expected that when Mother Nature casts the cloud of April showers, the blossoming of May flowers will follow suit. Sadly, it’s quite common the expectations we have begin to dwindle with the indecisiveness of our climate, and the big bloom we anticipate is usually two months behind schedule. The existence of lus-cious gardens and bouquets of color come May is slim to none and we have no choice but to compromise with something we can rely on – our wardrobes. Before the last snow pile has melted into the abyss, the con-tents of our closets are already under seasonal renovation to make way for the abundance of floral that is about to bury the existence of our knit sweater collection.

This spring, just like every other, floral trends are a big deal. Maybe it’s because they come as a variety pack of choices that allow us to dress as a giant rose one-day and a walking hibis-cus the next. Or maybe, it’s in spite of Mother Nature and her ever so frequent seasonal delays. Whatever it is, we might as well get as much wear time as we can before the flower wilts. If you’re jumping on the floral trend wagon this spring, there are two pieces of wardrobe advice I will leave with you.

First, don’t just buy the bouquet if you can commit to the gar-den. If that cute floral blazer you’re dying to have comes with a pant component, you best take up that two for one offer.

Second, plant a pop of color next to your floral accouterment. Spring is all about making life colorful again, so go ahead and embrace those bold hues.

Comfree? Real Estate Agent? FSBO?There are a lot of choices when it comes to buying a home.

What is an FSBO? The answer is: For sale by owner. When look-ing to buy, it’s likely you are considering all of these options. Communicate with your agent; you can be represented in all these deals or venues by an agent. Be open and honest so your agent can REPRESENT your best interests and negotiate your best deal with a COMFREE owner or FSBO owner.

The bottom line is someone wants to SELL and someone wants to BUY...let your AGENT work their magic and you can feel com-fortable knowing you are being professionally represented.

In the mean time, here are a few things to consider when house hunting...

Living room and family room: Is it large enough to fit all of your furniture? Are the rooms conducive to family get-togethers and entertaining? Do you need a separate living room and family room?

Kitchen: Is it important to have enough space to eat comfort-ably in the kitchen as well as the dining room? Does the kitchen have all of the cupboard and storage space you need? Will your fridge fit?

Bathroom: Is the main floor bathroom uncomfortably small? Does the ensuite bathroom have all the features you desire, such as a large tub and/or separate shower? Do you need dou-ble sinks?

Bedrooms: Is the master bedroom large enough to fit your bed and other furniture? Does it have the closet space you need? Are the other bedrooms large enough for your needs? It’s a good idea to take note of the measurements of these rooms as it can be difficult to judge measurements during a viewing.

Basement: Does the basement size and orientation fit with your renovation plans? Does it have the storage space you need?

Storage space: This is particularly important if you’re shopping for a condo. Does the storage space or locker offer enough space?

Closets: Are there enough closets? Is there a linen closet?

Garage: Homeowners use the garage for more than just cars. If you plan to use this space for storage or hobbies, check that the garage will be suitable for those purposes.

“The bottom line is someone wants to SELL and someone wants to BUY...let your AGENT work their magic and you can feel comfortable

knowing that you are being professionally represented.”


Apple for the better part of the last decade has been undoubt-edly controlling the handheld market with style. Innovation has been their key ingredient allowing them to generate new prod-uct categories, while at the same time enhancing other areas, establishing their reputation as a global trend-setter in the tech world. Its founder, Steve Jobs, is regarded as one of the most influential figures of our time. He was directly involved with the production of revolutionary products that transformed the way we listen to music, manage our business, keep in touch with family, and most importantly, how to stay connected. Apple has been creating attractive devices since it was founded back in 1976; however it was only in the last 15 years that the com-pany set itself apart and revolutionized the technology industry.

With an iPhone refresh just around the corner and the Mac-Book line up getting their yearly refresh, what’s next for Apple? Technology has proven that sky is the limit and the only limita-tion is our imagination. A deep dive into Apple reveals spec-ulations that the next big thing coming out of Cupertino will be in the wearable department, i.e. a new watch or even new glasses. Apple will also attempt to bring its world to your home by trying to seamlessly incorporate its IOS world to your living room kitchen and even bedroom. Of course this is already in affect by such products like Apple TV, but I believe we will see a lot more innovation in that category.

The American tech giant will demonstrate with ease why 2014 will be an ‘Apple’ year. Apple will surely surpass all expecta-tions and deliver, yet again, beautiful products. I for one am anxious to see what‘s in store for the rumored iWatch. The idea that we can control what we do on our phone from our watch appeals to me and could potentially appeal to those eager to move away from handheld devices. In my opinion the closest companies to have successfully entered every aspect

of our lives are Microsoft and Sony. The Xbox and the PlaySta-tion consoles are the closest any manufacturer has come to creating a product that the whole family can use while sitting at the TV. The variability of the consoles have brought their own ideas to what the TV should do, whether its communicat-ing with friends, exercising, watching TV or even browsing the internet. These devices are no longer viewed as just gaming consoles but have slowly over the years become the go-to-de-vices for any couch potato. Apple TV was a great start but year over year we have seen very little progress in the application of Apple TV, providing a category where Apple can engrain its place and make some progress. I believe we should be seeing a dramatic refresh to the beautiful little box probably in 2015. And we should see this product category become a little more than just a ‘’Hobby” to the fruit company. So Apple, what is next? We are anxiously waiting.

Smart Clients Just Like You Get Exactly What They Want

Creating a new home is a journey of discovering who you are, what you want, how you want to live and where you want to be. It’s a chance for you to define your relationship to the world, to your family and to yourself. Creating a home is more than building “3 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms.” It is so much more than the sum of a few parts.

Custom homes are not altered stock plans from a builder’s cata-logue or from a book of plans. The truth is, great design does not mean some glass box that every architect loves but no one could live in. Great design is a house that functions better, costs less to build, is more efficient to run and maintain, and gets you more for less.Details – Main Floor

Together we completed the needs assessment, functional areas and schematic design phases. We now pick up at the preliminary design stage. Preliminary designs used to be hand drawn renderings portraying ideas. Technology has changed the process and drawing even though more formal looking is still meant to be fluid to new design ideas. So please do not let the formal nature of the drawings fool you.

KitchenThis is where the family meets to hang out, work and dine in one

central space. It has a spacious kitchen island to serve as a primary and secondary workspace, extra storage, or a spot for many cooks to spread out.

One hundred and twenty square feet of area contains the kitchen. Extra space between the European style appliance wall and the large island provides room to move. Space for all family members in their hurry to get ready in the mornings. The sit-down part of the island is set at standard table height so the dining room chairs serve both functions.

This family has great ideas.

Dining RoomOne hundred and forty square feet is expandable to twice that

much which makes for a flexible plan. Just slide the living room furniture towards the reading space and presto, twice the space. Large family gatherings are a snap.

A BBQ patio extends the dining room space to the out-doors. Enclosed on three sides with a roof over provides for convenience and privacy.

Family RoomThe fireplace entertainment focal point divides the long wall

between two matching ventilating windows. Sun screened windows have working doors leading to a future deck. The fireplace contains a smart hidden from view TV and entertainment unit. The absence of coffee and end tables play to the minimal approach to design and gives the children the space for Wii play.

Powder RoomPowder rooms are a must for this, and for the most part all two-

story homes. It is difficult to design in an 800 square foot open floor plan. The family and I agree that the door to the powder room func-tions best when hidden. A stub wall added to reduce the viewing angles to near zero is a possibility. But, it reduces the grand entry. A custom sand blasted glass is one solution for the stub wall.

Enclosed PorchAnother double duty space. Perfect for keeping both heating and

cooling dollars in the pocket. But beyond that well designed, dedi-cated seasonal storage is key. Sports equipment and seasonal items kept in a garage collect a lion’s share of off-season dust.

Dedicated Drop Zone – The VestibuleSometimes called the mudroom for obvious reasons. Double

swing or sliding pocket doors provide a quick way to hide the oc-casional less than tidy view to this space. A bench to park yourself on for easy boot removal and planned storage make this one of the more important and under rated areas in the home.

Thin sauce with water if it is too thick for your liking.

In the SpotlightSASK EXPORTS BOUND FOR GOLDEN STATE

Have you ever heard the expression ‘there must be something in the water’? Well, in Saskatchewan’s case, it’s true.

The province will soon be shipping off two of its richest and celebrated water polo exports, athletes Alexandra Massier and Amy Yule.

The Regina born pair has certainly made a splash in the world of water polo. Soon enough they will be heading off to Califor-nia colleges on full sports scholarships thanks to 18 collective years of hard work and dedication in the sport.

Although water polo seems to have a bit of a lower profile com-pared to other sports in the province, there is no question on the extreme physicality it takes to reach the top tier.

Games last about 45 minutes and require players to tread wa-ter for several minutes at a time, while playing strategically and defensively. Meanwhile players watch and read every team-mate’s moves anticipating consequent actions.

At the top level of the sport, players have learned precisely how and where their teammates want the ball. They come to under-stand each other almost as well as they know themselves. That type of teammate dependency is something Massier and Yule have come to know and expect after years of playing the sport at a national level.

For the duo to play at such a high level requires serious time commitment with practices occurring during every ounce of spare time, including lunches. Training about 15 hours a week, Massier and Yule attend seven practices, including lunch prac-tices on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, with night practices every night except Friday.

The two super talents are also current teammates.

When looking to schools in the U.S., it was clear for both the right team fit was priority. “To have a close team bond was im-portant to me and I just felt very at home with the Long Beach girls,” said Massier. Yule also stated her choice was made on feeling right at home at Northridge, and added that the team “had great values and I felt like I fit in.”

That team bond, said Massier is of the utmost importance. She also noted other key characteristics, which aided her accom-plishments as a water polo athlete, such as personal develop-ment, self-discipline and drive. But the nod to the tight knit team was a reoccurring theme from both Massier and Yule.

Massier, 18, started her career in the sport at the young age of 7 after happening upon a promotional flyer from school. Now with 11 seasons under her belt, her teammates have simply become her best friends and other family. And although leaving the group is indeed a significant change, the opportunity to live somewhere new and learn new skills from a new batch of girls is a prospect that excites the teen.

Massier will be adding her acceptance and scholarship at Long Beach State University in California to a long list of accomplish-ments in water polo. She has played in eight national champi-onships with Team Saskatchewan and this past summer, had the opportunity to join and experience international play with the Canadian Junior National Team.

Proudest moments for Alexandra include being named Most Valuable Player at the 2013 Alberta Open and making the start-ing line up alongside Amy, for the Junior Pan-American Games in Argentina last year, where the team placed second.

Without question, Massier is a motivated and ambitious spirit. She shared however, that it is her sister who provides her with a great deal of inspiration. Another natural born athlete, Massier’s sister Kendell has proven her ability in a number of sports, often times reaching national level finishes only to find that she wants to try something new. After years of competing in gymnastics and diving, she is now onto rowing.

“To have the courage to quit something your good at to find something else you “might” be good at it, is so brave. That is courage and perseverance.” Perseverance and hard work are words it would seem well understood by the Massier house-hold.

Amy Yule’s inspiration however, draws a direct line back to her team and their accomplishments. “I have been with the same group of girls for so long that when I see someone go on and play with the Senior National Team, and another go and play

for Hawaii, it really is something to look up too,” stated Yule.

In addition to the great team atmosphere the sport facilitates, the 17-year-old high school senior confided that her love for water polo really comes down to the game itself. “I really enjoy the intensity of every moment that really make games so much fun,” said Yule.

Born to compete, her list of accomplishments in the sport is equally impressive to Massier, especially given that she has had four less years in the sport. Amy reflected with pride on her most notable achievements inducing making the national team two summers in a row and attending the Commonwealth Games.

And for someone who looks forward to every game, Yule shared her excitement for the upcoming nationals, and add-ed that she hopes to have the chance to make more national teams in coming years.

Yule, who has been in the sport for seven years, recently ac-cepted a scholarship with California State University, North-ridge. Her start with the sport began when she sport attended the “I Love Water Polo” program. Loving it instantly and show-ing an ingrained aptitude, she quickly transferred to the com-petitive program.

The idea of continuing to develop as an athlete is something Amy has always understood and there’s little doubt it’s a rea-son she has found ongoing success in the sport. “Determina-tion is key. If you want to go far with your sport, you need to expand on your talent that you have, you can’t just depend on talent,” shared Yule. She looks to her future at Northridge as a giant opportunity, one that she is extremely excited about.

That opportunity, of accessing a full sports scholarship is no easy feat shared Massier and Yule, especially in the U.S. where athletes from Canada are more likely to be unknown and un-proven.

For those looking to follow their footsteps and achieve a sports scholarship, both advised to start early and be proactive. SAT’s - standardized testing for college entry in the U.S., should be done as early as possible, in the event you need to repeat the challenging test.

Massier’s words of wisdom included: “If you want a scholar-ship start as soon as you enter grade 11 by sending out emails to the coaches. Tell them what you play, where you’re from, major accomplishments, your coaches name, attach tran-scripts, and what you are looking for in the NCAA. Many won’t reply but many will, do not wait for them to contact you, that is very important. Take the your future into your own hands.”

Now that their university choices are decided, both look for-ward to a future in health related career paths. Massier will fo-cus on health administration services, at least to start, and Yule in Kinesiology, with sights set on becoming a Physiotherapist.

Before they head out, both girls will be competing at the 18U Nationals this year in Quebec City. From all of us here at PINK, best of luck to you both at Nationals and with your new teams in California.

If you have been hesitating on taking a vacation due to mobility or health issues - cruising may be the vacation alternative that will work for you.

Food allergies are very common and cruise lines take them very seriously. We have had many passengers who are celiac or travelling with children with severe allergies, and they all have returned with stories of the amazing service and care that was taken to limit their exposure to any allergens.

Most lines will have the Chef or the Maître d’ meet with you on the first day of the cruise to review menus. They will ensure re-quired ingredient changes can be made and that you are able to fully participate in the pleasures of cruise ship dining options.

Cruise ships take away many of the challenges commonly faced by people with mobility issues. Accessibility features vary from ship to ship – but typically cruise ships are extremely accessible. If you choose not to bring your own mobility device, rentals of wheelchairs, scooters or walkers can be arranged and delivered to your stateroom.

Accessible staterooms do need to be booked in advance, and a good travel consultant will work with you to ensure that the ship you choose has the features and itinerary that will give you the best vacation experience possible.

Service dogs are typically permitted onboard cruise ships but may not be allowed to disembark at all ports. So again, it is im-portant to work with a professional to ensure you are choosing an itinerary which will allow you to fully experience the ports of call.

As well as mobility aids, oxygen is available for stateroom de-livery onboard. It is extremely important that the cruise line is aware of any special needs at time of booking to ensure all of the required arrangements can be met.

Royal Caribbean is the first cruise line designated as “Autism Friendly”, a certification standard designed for cruise lines.It is awarded to cruise lines whose efforts ensure their products and services are accessible for inclusion and participation by, the au-tism and developmental disability community.

Dialysis services are available on a number of cruises that pro-vide a renal care specialist team consisting of a Nephrologist, dialysis nurses and certified technicians. These are offered on select cruise sailings with a number of cruise lines. Ask for spe-cific cruise lines and itineraries which provide these services.

Contact a travel professional for specific information on services available that will support any of the special needs that you, or a travelling companion may have in order to ensure that you have a wonderful vacation.

Established in the 1970s by current owner Ernie Kouros’ mother and father, K Family Kitchen is remi-niscent of your own fam-ily’s kitchen. A quick scan of the menu reveals that there is something on it for everyone. “I always tell our new customers to close their eyes and pick some-

thing off the menu”, said Ernie (between kitchen, cash and host shifts on a busy Saturday). “That’s going to be your new favourite - I can guarantee it,” he continued, smiling.

Ernie, his wife Robyn and their daughter Ava have a reason to smile. Building on the Kouros family’s established reputation for home-style cooking using only the freshest ingredients, and the Kouros family’s un-bending rule to only ever make every dish from scratch, K Family Kitchen is what is it today - a full-service restaurant for everyone. Loyal families continue to drop in regularly for great food and time spent with one an-other, all because of the Kouros family’s dedication.

The menu is full of comfort food and Ernie and Robyn guarantee exactly what you order is delivered to your table fresh, hot and in record time. “You never leave K Family Kitchen hungry, either’” said Ernie. “We make sure you’re full and satisfied when you visit us; our portions are hearty. Your time here with us is well spent and your appetite is satiated, just like at home.”

The menu is full of a wide ranges of choices. The breakfast menu itself keeps customers’ cravings at bay with Bennies, pancakes and “skillets scrambles” of home-style hash browns, peppers and onions, eggs any style and a choice of bacon, ham or sausage. The lunch and dinner menu offer innumerable dishes with multiple combinations and variations. Your meal is customizable to your taste at K Family Kitchen.

Because K Family Kitchen offers its customers choice, it is no wonder that customers keep coming back for the best breakfast around. “Char-lie’s Favourite” is a staple on the menu. “Charlie was a loyal and regular customer,” explained Ernie. “He’s no longer with us, but we always re-member what our special customers like best.”

New loyal customers keep on coming through the doors, and K Family Kitchen keeps the dishes rolling out at lightning speed and welcomes you seven days a week from 6.a.m. to 9 p.m. in their homey atmosphere so you can enjoy their home-cooked fare when you want it. “We’re busy, but that’s what our customers like about us - we’re here when your fam-ily wants to drop in, and the coffee is always on.” said Ernie. Ralph and Sharon, two loyal customers who regularly drop in for a satisfying meal and time together, had this to say about K Family Kitchen: “It’s a wonder-ful place; you feel at home here. It’s cozy and the food is always fresh.”

Drop in at K Family Kitchen at 2302 9th Avenue North for home-style cooking with your family. Robyn will greet you at the door with a smile and a cup of hot coffee while Ernie gets your order on the table. Spend time at K Family Kitchen with the Kouros family, and your own.

a quiz about momWith Mother’s Day right around the corner, a fun idea would be to find out just how much your children know about you, their mother. I’m sure you’ll hear some hilarious answers as your kids try to answer these questions. I’m guessing that the younger they are, the funnier their answers will be! I’m sure some of their explanations for their answers will be worth jotting in the family scrapbook. This would be a great activity to play while enjoying a family brunch on Mother’s Day. Kids: Start doing some research now because the person with the lowest score may have to do the dishes!
